The last days of judas iscariot

by Stephen Adly Guirgis

Hailed by Time magazine and Entertainment Weekly as among the best plays of the year, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis unleashes his incendiary language and style upon Judas Iscariot, the Bible’s most notorious sinner. Presented as a riveting and riotous courtroom drama in the depths of purgatory, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot is an irresistible examination of human free will and divine mercy. Judas features a wild cast of characters – Mother Teresa, Pontius Pilate, Sigmund Freud, even Satan himself – to ask the question, “What happened to Judas Iscariot?”This fiercely ambitious work explores the consequences of faith, guilt and despair, alongside the boundaries of forgiveness and grace.
